ABSTRACT

A multilayered device comprises an insulation sheet  1  having at least two foldable areas  11, 12  which are multilayered by being folded; and a first conductor  21 A,  22 A which is formed on a first face  11 A,  12 A and constitutes a first coil  51 A,  52 A having one turn or more, and a second conductor  21 B,  22 B which is formed on a second face  11 B,  12 B and constitutes a second coil  51 B,  52 B having one turn or more in the same winding direction as that of the first coil in each of the foldable areas, at least four conductors are disposed in parallel with each other by folding the insulation sheet so as to constitute an inductor, and thus, it enables to thin the thickness of the multilayer, to downsize and to lightweight even when it constitutes a coil device having a larger winding number.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a multilayered device which is configured by laminating insulation sheets with conductor coils.

BACKGROUND ART

For example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 5-243057 discloses a conventional multilayered device (a thin transformer) which is configured by laminating insulation sheets with conductor coils. In such conventional multilayered device, as shown in FIG. 14, conductors 200 which are formed of a material such as copper foil of a flexible printed circuit board to have coil shapes on a first face (front face) of a flexible insulation sheet 100 of foldable such as the flexible printed circuit board, for example. By laminating such insulation sheet 100, a multilayered device having a desired inductance value can be obtained.

FIG. 15A and FIG. 15B are figures respectively showing a first face (a front face) and a second face (a rear face) of adjoining two folded areas of the insulation sheet 100. In this example, the conductors 200 are formed as coil shape only on the first face (front face) 100A in FIG. 14, and no conductor is formed on the second face (rear face) 100B. As shown in FIG. 15A, the first coil 201 formed on a first foldable area 101 is electrically conducted to a second coil formed on a second foldable area 102. Under a condition that the insulation sheet 1 (SIC: 100) is folded so that the second faces (rear faces) of respective foldable areas are contacted, the first coil 201 of the first foldable area 101 and the second coil 202 of the second foldable area 102 are disposed in parallel with each other via the insulation sheet 100, so that an inductor is formed.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

According to the above mentioned conventional multilayered device, since the coil shaped conductors are provided on only one face of the flexible insulation sheet 1 (SIC: 100), in order to constitute a coil device having a large number of turns, it is necessary to superimpose the single-sided flexible insulation sheets 1 (SIC: 100) each of which is folded to contact the rear faces several times via insulation sheets, and thus, there is a problem that a thickness of the multilayered device increases.

The present invention is conceived to solve such problem of the conventional one, and purposes to provide a multilayered device which enables to reduce the thickness of the lamination and to downsize and to lighten by arranging the conductors on both sides of the insulation sheet effectively, even when it constitute a coil device having a large number of turns.

A multilayered device in accordance with an aspect of the present invention comprises:

an insulation sheet having at least two foldable areas which are multilayered by being folded; and

a first conductor which is formed on a first face of each of the foldable areas and constitutes a first coil of at least one turn, and a second conductor which is formed on a second face of each of the foldable areas and constitutes a second coil of at least one turn having the same winding direction as that of the first coil, and wherein

at least four conductors are disposed in parallel with each other by folding the insulation sheet so as to form an inductor.

According to such a configuration, since the first conductor which constitutes the first coil is formed on the first face of each foldable area and the second conductor which constitutes the second coil having the same winding direction as that of the first coil is formed on the second face, by folding the insulation sheet so that respective foldable areas are folded, at least four layers of the conductors constituting coils having the same winding directions are multilayered via the insulation sheets. Consequently, in comparison with the conventional multilayered device in which the conductors are formed on only one side of the insulation sheet, when a number of layers of the conductors of the devices are the same, it is possible to downsize and to thin the device. Alternatively, when the sizes of the devices are substantially the same, it is possible to obtain an inductor having a larger inductance value or a capacitor having a larger capacitance value.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION First Embodiment

A multilayered device in accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. FIG. 1A shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a first face (front face) of an insulation sheet 1 which constitutes the multilayered device, and FIG. 1B shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a second face (rear face) thereof. Hereupon, the patterns of the conductors on the second face (rear face) shown in FIG. 1B are illustrated as patterns transparently observed from the same side of the patterns of the first face (front face). Therefore, when the patterns of the conductors on the second face (rear face) are observed from the second face side, the delineation will be reversed (the same goes for the following embodiments).

As shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, in the multilayered device in accordance with the first embodiment, the insulation sheet 1 has two foldable areas, that is, the first foldable area 11 and the second foldable area 12, which are to be multilayered by being folded. In the first foldable area 11, a first conductor 21A which constitutes a first coil 51A having one turn or more is formed on a first face 11A, and a second conductor 21B which constitutes a second coil 51B having one turn or more in the same winding direction as the first coil 51A is formed on a second face 11B. Similarly, in the first (SIC: second) foldable area 12, a first conductor 22A which constitutes a first coil 52A having one turn or more is formed on a first face 12A, and a second conductor 22B which constitutes a second coil 52B having one turn or more in the same winding direction as that of the first electric coil 52A when observing from a second face side is formed on the second face 12B.

Under a state that the insulation sheet 1 is folded, the first conductor 21A on the first face 11A of the first foldable area 11 has a connection terminal 41 which is formed at an upper left portion of the first face 11A and is to be connected to an external circuit, and the first coil 51A which converges towards a center while forming a convolution in counterclockwise direction along each side of the first foldable area 11 from the connection terminal 41. In addition, the second conductor 21B on the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 has the second coil 51B which diverges towards a periphery while forming a convolution in counterclockwise direction along each side of the first foldable area 11 from a center of the second face 11B (in a condition seen through). Furthermore, a via hole (penetration conductor) 31 which conducts the first conductor 21A and the second conductor 21B is formed to penetrate from the first face 11A to the second face 11B at the center of the first foldable area 11.

As shown in FIG. 1B, the second conductor 22B on the second face 12B of the second foldable area 12 has a second coil 52B which is successively formed from the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 to bridge over a folding line 61 between the first foldable area 11 and the second foldable area 12, and to converge towards a center while forming a convolution in clockwise direction along each side of the second foldable area 12. In addition, the first conductor 22A on the first face 12A of the second foldable area 12 has a first coil 52A which diverges towards a periphery while forming a convolution in clockwise direction along each side of the second foldable area 12 from a center of the first face 12A (in a condition seen through), and a connection terminal 42 which is formed at an upper right portion of the first face 12A and is to be connected to an external circuit. Furthermore, a via hole 32 which conducts the first conductor 22A and the second conductor 22B is formed to penetrate from the first face 12A to the second face 12B at the center of the second foldable area 12.

Under a state that the insulation sheet 1 is folded, the winding direction of the first coil 51A and the second coil 51B in the first foldable area 11 and the winding direction of the first coil 52A and the second coil 52B in the second foldable area 12 are opposite to each other. When the insulation sheet 1 is folded as valley fold along the folding line 61 in FIG. 1B so that the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 and the second face 12B of the second folding area 12 touch each other, a multilayered coil is constituted by folding four coils 51A, 51B, 52A and 52B each having one turn or more wound in the same direction by four conductors 21A, 21B, 22A and 22B which are electrically connected, and thus, an inductor device is provided.

In addition, it is necessary to insulate at least the folded portion of the insulation sheet 1 by interleaving another insulation sheet between the foldable areas of the insulation sheet so as not to be short-circuited the second conductor 21B on the second face of the first foldable area 11 and the second conductor 22B on the second face of the second foldable area 12 which will touch each other in folded state, for example. Alternatively, it is possible to provide thin insulation sheets or insulation films to cover surfaces of the conductors 21A, 21B, 22A and 22B other than the connection terminals 41 and 42.

Second Embodiment

Subsequently, a multilayered device in accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B. FIG. 2A shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a first face (front face) of an insulation sheet 1 which constitutes the multilayered device, and FIG. 2B shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a second face (rear face) thereof. Hereupon, the patterns of the conductors on the rear face shown in FIG. 2B are illustrated as patterns transparently observed from the same side of the patterns of the front face, similar to the above mentioned first embodiment. In addition, explanation of elements common in the above mentioned first embodiment are omitted (the same goes for the following embodiments).

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, an insulation sheet 1 is configured by four foldable areas 11 to 14. With respect to two foldable areas 11 and 12 adjoining each other, a foldable area 11 corresponds to the above first foldable area and a foldable area 12 corresponds to the above second foldable area. In addition, with respect to two foldable areas 12 and 13 adjoining each other, the foldable area 12 corresponds to the above first foldable area and a foldable area 13 corresponds to the above second foldable area. Similarly, with respect to two foldable areas 13 and 14 adjoining each other, the foldable area 13 corresponds to the above first foldable area and a foldable area 14 corresponds to the above second foldable area.

Connecting terminals 41 and 44 which are to be connected to an external circuit are respectively provided on first faces 11A and 14A of the foldable areas 11 and 14 at both ends, and a first conductor 22A on a first face 12A of the foldable area 12 and a first conductor 23A on a first face 13A of the foldable area 13 are successively formed to bridge over a folding line 62 between the foldable area 12 and the foldable area 13. In addition, a second conductor 21B on a second face 11B of the foldable area 11 and a second conductor 23B on a second face 13B of the foldable area 13, and a second conductor 22B on a second face 12B of the foldable area 12 and a second conductor 24B on a second face 14B of the foldable area 14 respectively have the same patterns. On the other hand, a first conductor 21A on a first face 11A of the foldable area 11 and a first conductor 23A on a first face 13A of the foldable area 13, and a first conductor 22A on a first face 12A of the foldable area 12 and a first conductor 2AB (SIC; 24A) on a first face 14A of the foldable area 14 respectively have substantially the same but not precisely the same patterns other than connection terminal portions.

When folding the insulation sheet 1 in accordance with the second embodiment as valley fold along folding lines 61 and 63 and as mountain fold along a folding line 62 in FIG. 2B, a multilayered coil is constituted by folding eight coils 51A, 51B, 52A, 52B, 53A, 43B, 54A and 54B each having one turn or more wound in the same direction by eight conductors 21A, 21B, 22A, 22B, 23A, 23B, 24A and 24B which are electrically connected, and thus, it can be used as an inductor device. Consequently, the patterns shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B are equivalent to a series connection of tow sets of patterns shown in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B, so that an inductance device having twofold value of inductance is obtained in comparison with the configuration in the first embodiment.

Besides, a number of foldable areas of the insulation sheet 1 is not limited to two in the above mentioned first embodiment or four in the second embodiment, and it is possible to select an optional number regardless of an even number or an odd number.

Subsequently, a multilayered device in accordance with a third embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B. FIG. 3A shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a first face (front face) of an insulation sheet 1 which constitutes the multilayered device, and FIG. 3B shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a second face (rear face) thereof. Hereupon, the patterns of the conductors on the rear face shown in FIG. 3B are illustrated as patterns transparently observed from the same side of the patterns of the front face, similar to the above mentioned first embodiment.

The multilayered device in accordance with the third embodiment is configured as a transformer having two windings. An insulation sheet 1 has two foldable areas, that is, a first foldable area 11 and a second foldable area 12, which are to be multilayered by being folded. First conductors 21A and 22A, which constitute first coils 51A and 52A each having one turn or more, are formed on first faces 11A and 12A of respective foldable areas 11 and 12. Similarly, second conductors 21B and 22B, which constitute second coils 51B and 52B each having one turn or more in the same winding direction as that of the first coils 51A and 52A, are formed on second faces 11B and 12B of respective of the foldable areas 11 and 12. In addition, in respective of the foldable areas 11 and 12, via holes 31 and 32, which conduct the first conductors 21A and 22A to the second conductors 21B and 22B, are provided to penetrate from the first faces 11A and 12A to the second faces 11B and 12B. Besides, the first conductor 21A and the second conductor 21B formed on the first face 11A and the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 are electrically insulated from the first conductor 22A and the second conductor 22B formed on the first face 12A and the second face 12B of the second foldable area 12.

As shown in FIG. 3A and FIG. 3B, in a state that the insulation sheet 1 is folded, the first conductor 21A on the first face 11A in the first foldable area 11 has a connection terminal 41A which is provided at upper left portion of the first face 11A and to be connected to an external circuit, and the first coil 51A which converges towards a center while forming a convolution in counterclockwise direction along each side of the first foldable area 11 from the connection terminal 41A. In addition, the second conductor 21B on the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 has the second coil 51B which diverges towards a periphery while forming a convolution in counterclockwise direction along each side of the first foldable area 11 from a center of the second face 11B (in a condition seen through), and a connection terminal 41B which is provided at lower left portion of the second face 11B and to be connected to the external circuit. Furthermore, a via hole 31 which conducts the first conductor 21A and the second conductor 21B is formed to penetrate from the first face 11A to the second face 11B at the center of the first foldable area 11.

On the other hand, the first conductor 22A on the first face 12A in the second foldable area 12 has a connection terminal 42A which is provided at lower left portion of the first face 12A and to be connected to another external circuit, and the first coil 52A which converges towards a center while forming a convolution in clockwise direction along each side of the second foldable area 12 from the connection terminal 42A. In addition, the second conductor 22B on the second face 12B of the second foldable area 12 has the second coil 52B which diverges towards a periphery while forming a convolution in clockwise direction along each side of the second foldable area 12 from a center of the second face 12B (in a condition seen through), and a connection terminal 42B which is provided at upper right portion of the second face 12B and to be connected to the another external circuit. Furthermore, a via hole 32 which conducts the first conductor 22A and the second conductor 22B is formed to penetrate from the first face 12A to the second face 12B at the center of the second foldable area 12. In other words, in the state that the insulation sheet 1 is folded, the winding direction of the first coil 51A and the second coil 52B of the first foldable area 11 and the winding direction of the first electric coil 52A and the second electric coil 52B of the second foldable area 12 are opposite to each other.

When the insulation sheet 1 in accordance with the third embodiment is folded as valley fold along the folding line 61 in FIG. 3B, the first coil 51A formed on the first face 11A and the second coil 51B formed on the second face 51B of the first foldable area 11 constitute an inductor through the via hole 31. In addition, the first coil 52A formed on the first face 12A and the second coil 52B formed on the second face 52B (SIC: 12B) of the second foldable area 12 constitute an inductor through the via hole 31 (SIC: 32). Consequently, a flat transformer in which two inductors are magnetically coupled is provided.

Subsequently, a multilayered device in accordance with a fourth embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B. FIG. 4A shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a first face (front face) of an insulation sheet 1 which constitutes the multilayered device, and FIG. 4B shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a second face (rear face) thereof. Hereupon, the patterns of the conductors on the rear face shown in FIG. 4B are illustrated as patterns transparently observed from the same side of the patterns of the front face, similar to the above mentioned first embodiment.

In the multilayered device in accordance with the fourth embodiment, conductors having the same patterns are formed on a first face (front face) and a second face (rear face) of the insulation sheet 1, so that a capacitor is formed between the conductors on the first face and the conductors on the second face.

As shown in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the insulation sheet 1 has two foldable areas, that is, the first foldable area 11 and the second foldable area 12, which are to be multilayered by being folded. First conductors 21A and 22A which constitute first coils 51A and 52A having one turn or more are formed on first faces 11A and 12A of the foldable areas 11 and 12. Similarly, second conductors 21B and 22B which constitute second coils 51B and 52B having one turn or more are formed on second faces 11B and 12B of the foldable areas 11 and 12.

The first conductor 21A on the first face 11A of the first foldable area 11 has the first coil 51A which diverges towards a periphery while forming a convolution in clockwise direction along each side of the first foldable area 11 from a center of the first face 11A, and is formed to bridge over a folding line 61 between the first foldable area 11 and the second foldable area 12 and to continue to the first conductor 22A on the first face 12A of the second foldable area 12. In addition, the first conductor 22A on the first face 12A of the second foldable area 12 has the first coil 52A which converges towards a center while forming a convolution in counterclockwise direction along each side of the second foldable area 12.

Similarly, the first (SIC: second) conductor 21B on the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 has the second coil 51B which diverges towards a periphery while forming a convolution in clockwise direction along each side of the first foldable area 11 from a center of the second face 11B (in a condition seen through), and is formed to bridge over a folding line 61 between the first foldable area 11 and the second foldable area 12 and to continue to the second conductor 22B on the second face 12B of the second foldable area 12. In addition, the second conductor 22B on the second face 12B of the second foldable area 12 has the second coil 52B which converges towards a center while forming a convolution in counterclockwise direction along each side of the second foldable area 12.

In the fourth embodiment, no via hole which conducts the first conductor 21A or 22A and the second conductor 21B or 22B is formed to penetrated from the first face 11A or 12A to the second face 11B or 12B in the foldable area 11 or 12, so that the first conductor 21A and the second conductor 21B formed on the first face 11A and the second face 11B of the first foldable area 11 and the first conductor 22A and the second conductor 22B formed on the first face 12A and the second face 12B of the second foldable area 12 are electrically insulated, respectively. Furthermore, as can be seen from FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, the patterns of the conductors formed on the first face (front face) of the insulation sheet 1 are the same shape as the patterns of the conductors formed on the second face (rear face) (in a condition seen through).

When the insulation sheet 1 is folded as valley fold along the folding line 61 in FIG. 4B, four pieces of conductors each having the same patterns are arranged in parallel via insulation sheets, and two pieces of them located in most outward and two pieces of them located inside are electrically connected, respectively, so that a capacitor of distributed constant is provided.

Subsequently, a multilayered device in accordance with a fifth embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 5A to FIG. 5D and FIG. 6. FIG. 5A shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a first face (front face) of a first insulation sheet 1A which constitutes the multilayered device in accordance with the fifth embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5B shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a first face (front face) of a second insulation sheet 1B, FIG. 5C shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a second face (rear face) of the first insulation sheet 1A, and FIG. 5D shows a configuration of and patterns of conductors on a second face (rear face) the second insulation sheet 1B. Hereupon, the patterns of the conductors on the rear faces shown in FIG. 5 c and FIG. 5D are illustrated as patterns transparently observed from the same side of the patterns on the front face, similar to the above mentioned first embodiment. In addition, FIG. 6 is a partially expanded sectional view showing a configuration of a multilayered body of the insulation sheets in the fifth embodiment, and especially shows an enlarged center portion of the foldable areas in the multilayered body of the insulation sheets.

As can be seen from FIG. 6, in the multilayered device in accordance with the fifth embodiment, a plurality of insulation sheets 1A and 1B each having patterns of conductors formed on both faces thereof are multilayered, and the multilayered body is further multilayered by being folded along the folding lines. In comparison with the above mentioned second embodiment, the patterns of conductors formed on the first face and the second face of the first insulation sheet 1A shown in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5C are substantially the same as the patterns of conductors shown in FIG. 2A and the patterns of conductors formed on the first face and the second face of the second insulation sheet 1B shown in FIG. 5B and FIG. 5D are substantially the same as the patterns of conductors shown in FIG. 2B, so that detailed description of the patterns of conductors is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, a third insulation sheet 1C having no pattern of conductor on a first face and a second face is provided between patterns of conductors 2B on the second face (rear face) of the first insulation sheet 1A and patterns of conductors 2C on the first face (front face) of the second insulation sheet 1B. Patterns of conductors 2A on the first face (front face) of the first insulation sheet 1A and patterns of conductors 2C on the first face (front face) of the second insulation sheet 1B, and the patterns of the conductors 2B on the second face (rear face) of the first insulation sheet 1A and the patterns of the conductors 2B on the second face (rear face) of the second insulation sheet 1B, are electrically connected by a first via holes A and a second via hole 3B, respectively.

In the multilayered device in accordance with the fifth embodiment, the patterns of the conductors formed on the first face of the first insulation sheet 1A shown in FIG. 5A are electrically connected to the patterns of the conductors formed on the first face of the second insulation sheet 1B shown in FIG. 5B so as to constitute an electrode of a capacitor. On the other hand, the patterns of the conductors formed on the second face of the first insulation sheet 1A shown in FIG. 5C are electrically connected to the patterns of the conductors formed on the second face of the second insulation sheet 1B shown in FIG. 5D so as to constitute another electrode of the capacitor.

The patterns of the conductors formed on the first face of the first insulation sheet 1A and the patterns of the conductors formed on the second face of the second insulation sheet 1B are specifically described. A first conductor 21A in a foldable area 11 of the first insulation sheet 1A in FIG. 5A is connected to a third conductor 121A in a foldable area 111 of the second insulation sheet 1B in FIG. 5B through a via hole 131 (which corresponds to the first via hole 3A in FIG. 6, the same goes for the below cases). The third conductor 121A in the foldable area 111 is connected to a first (SIC: third) conductor 122A in a foldable area 112, and further connected to a first conductor 22A in a foldable area 12 of the first insulation sheet 1A through a via hole 132. The first conductor 22A in the foldable area 12 is connected to a first conductor 23A in a foldable area 13, and further connected to a first (SIC: third) conductor 123A in a foldable area 113 of the second insulation sheet 1B through a via hole 133. The third conductor 123A in the foldable area 113 is connected to a third conductor 124A in a foldable area 114, and further connected to a first conductor 24A in a foldable area 14 of the first insulation sheet 1A through a via hole 134.

Since the patterns of conductors formed on the second face of the first insulation sheet 1A and the patterns of conductors formed on the second face of the second insulation sheet 1B are the same, descriptions of them are omitted. In FIG. 5D, reference symbols 121B to 124B respectively designate fourth conductors in foldable areas 111B to 114B of the second insulation sheet 1B.

(Other Applications)

Subsequently another application of the multilayered device in accordance with the above mentioned embodiments of the present invention is described with reference to FIG. 12.

In FIG. 12, AC input terminals of a full-wave rectifier DB is connected to an AC power source Vs through a filtering coil Lf and a filtering capacitor Cf. As for the filtering coil Lf and the filtering capacitor Cf, the multilayered device in accordance with each of the above mentioned embodiment can be used, so that the lighting apparatus of the high voltage discharge lamp can be downsized and flattened.

A capacitor C1 is connected between DC output terminals of the full-wave rectifier DB in parallel. Such capacitor C1 has a small capacitance which enables to bypass high frequency component, and a pulsating voltage is outputted from the full-wave rectifier DB by rectifying an AC voltage of the AC power source Vs with full-wave rectification. An inductor L1, a switching device Q and a diode D1 constitute a boosting chopper, and a stable DC voltage is obtained by a step-up capacitor Ce such as an electrolytic capacitor. As for the inductor L1 and the capacitor C1, the above mentioned multilayered device can be used, so that the step-up chopper can be downsized and flattened. However, the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention is not suitable for the smoothing capacitor Ce, because it is configured by an electrolytic capacitor.

A step-down chopper consists of a switching device Q2, an inductor L2 and a diode D2 is connected between both terminals of the smoothing capacitor Ce, so that a DC voltage corresponding to lamp voltage appears in a capacitor C2. Such step-down chopper practically acts as a stabilizer (ballast) of a discharge lamp La. The inductor L2 and the capacitor C2 is configured by using the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention, so that the step-down chopper can be downsized and flattened.

A series circuit of switching devices Q3 and Q4 and a series circuit of switching devices Q5 and Q6 are respectively connected between both terminals of the capacitor C2 in parallel. The discharge lamp La is connected between a connection point of the switching devices Q3 and Q4 and a connection point of the switching devices Q5 and Q5 through an inductor L3. A capacitor C3 is connected between a tap provided in midway of a winding of the inductor L3 and a ground. The inductor L3 and the capacitor C3 are used as a resonance circuit which generates high voltage for dielectric breakdown at the time of starting of the discharge lamp La. In other words, resonance voltage is applied to the resonance circuit of a series connection of the inductor L3 and the capacitor C3 by alternately switching on and off the switching devices Q3 and Q4 in high frequency at the time of starting of the discharge lamp La, so that the discharge lamp La is dielectrically breakdown, and thus, started to light. After starting the discharge lamp La, a state that the switching devices Q3 and Q6 are switched on and the switching devices Q4 and Q5 are switched off and another state that the switching devices Q3 and Q6 are switched off and the switching devices Q4 and Q5 are switched on are alternately repeated in low frequency, so that rectangular wave voltage is supplied to the discharge lamp La. Thereby, a high voltage discharge lamp (HID lamp) such as a mercury-arc lamp or a metal halide lamp can be lit.

Hereupon, the inductor L3 and the capacitor C3 can be configured with using the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention, so that the igniter can be downsized and flattened.

FIG. 13 is a circuit diagram of a lighting apparatus of an electrodeless discharge lamp using the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention. Since the configuration to the smoothing capacitor Ce consists of an electrolytic capacitor is substantially the same as that of the lighting apparatus of the high voltage discharge lamp shown in FIG. 12, so that description of overlapped portion is omitted.

In the lighting apparatus of the electrodeless discharge lamp shown in FIG. 13, the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention can be used as a filtering coil Lf and a filtering capacitor Cf, so that a filtering circuit can be downsized and flattened.

In addition, the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention can be used as an inductor L1 and a capacitor C1, so that a step-up chopper can be downsized and flattened. However, the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention is not suitable for the smoothing capacitor Ce, because it is configured by an electrolytic capacitor.

A series circuit of switching devices Q3 and Q4 is connected between both terminals of the smoothing capacitor Ce, and a resonance circuit of a series connection of an inductor L3 and a capacitor C3 is connected between both terminals of the switching device Q4. The switching devices Q3 and Q4 are alternately switched on and off in high frequency, and resonance voltage is generated by resonance action of series connection of the inductor L3 and the capacitor C3. The resonance voltage is applied to an induction coil of the electrodeless discharge lamp La through a capacitor C4 for cutting DC component, so that the electrodeless discharge lamp La is lit in high frequency.

In this lighting apparatus of the electrodeless discharge lamp, the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention can be used as the inductor L3 and the capacitor C3, so that the resonance circuit can be downsized and flattened.

By the way, although the lighting apparatuses for discharge lamp are exemplified as applications of the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention, it is obvious that an inductor or a capacitor for various electric power converting circuit other than the discharge lamp can be configured with using the multilayered device in accordance with the present invention.
